The repair of unstrengthen and damaged reinforced concrete members by external bonding such as ferrocement laminate is increasing, which demands the need for investigations into the behaviour of ferrocement confinements. Many studies are been carried out on the confinement of columns with ferrocement laminates considering changes in parameters such as types of meshes, different sizes, concrete grades, slenderness ratio, etc. Retrofitting of the existing structures has become a large part of the construction activity. Ferrocement confinement is one of the oldest, most efficient, and cost-effective techniques of re-strengthening of deteriorated and weak columns. Ferrocement is a thin wall reinforced using wire mesh and high-strength mortar. Small diameter of wires used as reinforcement, leads to a higher specific surface, providing homogeneity to the ferrocement. Closely spaced wires and uniformly distributed reinforcement provide more ductility and energy absorption capacity to the otherwise brittle concrete. The parameters such as cement mortar thickness, gauge-wire spacing, and bond at the interface of ferrocement and brick columns have effects on overall behaviour. New applications have been developed in recent years, such as low-cost dwelling buildings and the strengthening of a wide variety of structural elements. However, these applications are still in their first stages.
